Just need things to settle with my wife and my schedule -- this was the one semester that I needed to be on campus every morning, but my schedule will get more flexible starting January.<br /><br />I need to bring a camera with me to school, but the best closest "trail running" is along the Sand Creek within a mile of campus. It's a sunken creeky/valley among urban blight, but it's legitimate (albeit flat) 5-miles of singletrack in a wooded area, in addition to some doubletrack trails in a nearby nature preserve. Enough to keep anyone occupied at least for a few months.mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-20669319748177931922010-11-08T19:10:56.522-08:002010-11-08T19:10:56.522-08:00Looks like a great trail and run, glad you're ...Looks like a great trail and run, glad you're feeling better. I too hope we can get out for some marathon/WS or other 100 training runs together this winter/spring.

I've definitely thought about Evergreen, but only a condo would work for me. I did see a home for $150k one time. I didn't appear to be... um... prime quality.<br /><br />3 Sisters is probably my fave up there. I just find it very relaxing; it seems a million miles away from the city. And I think because it's a bit farther than Elk Meadow, it's not as crowded after work. <br /><br />It's a wonderland after a fresh snow, especially around the Sisters and Brother.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-83848512390798438182010-11-08T09:05:16.325-08:002010-11-08T09:05:16.325-08:00Shirtless in November.
